sex sells I get it. but is it really necessary to expose all your assets!!

in the 1950’s, christian dior set the bar for ultra-femininity with his full skirt and cinched waist silhouette. call me old fashion but dressing in such a manner says much more about your character than the see-through pasty dresses i see now 😬

there’s nothing like seeing a woman in a classy dress or pant suit and if she pairs it with a hat ❤ she exudes pure confidence

today i’m sharing with you a few of my favorite fashion icons, both old & new…

staying up all night at grandmas house on Christmas eve was the best day of the year…. when i was 8! 😳 one of my favorite childhood memories are those of grandmas house smelling like chocolate chip cookies, you know the ones we were leaving for santa👀 and then there was the christmas music playing on the kitchen radio

now I’m up all night trying to figure out last minute gifts and how I’m going to pack my 2seater car with gifts for all 20 people. why you ask? bc I’m still staying the night at my grandmas on Christmas Eve so here are my top 6 must have items for a day with the family on Christmas Eve

1. merry Christmas sweatshirt: you want to always dress fun and festive based on the holiday and for Christmas what better way than to express with the all time favorite movie: home alone
Find this sweatshirt on Amazon.com

3. opi nail art: with social networking and taking pictures being our 2nd occupation these days, don’t leave the house without your nails beat http://www.opi.com/mobile/

4. socks: can’t go wrong with a good pair of socks to keep warm during the holiday season and what better way than to be festive! grab this pair of arthur george here http://agsocks.com/naughty-nice.html

i went out over the weekend and put on my best Black Friday deal….my overalls. as i was putting them on, it took me back to my childhood wearing my favorite OshKosh B’Gosh pair. or when I wore a pair with my dr martens freshman year to my first Oklahoma football game.
did you know Levi Strauss patented the first overall in 1873 and it was sold for $1.25!!

the fashion world began to sell one-piece overalls as high-quality leisure wear in the 1960s and 1970 and now they’re here again. there’s nothing like fashion coming back around to remind you 1. of how old you are 🙂 and 2. coming back with a different flare.

here are some of my favorite looks starting with this handsome beau spotted on fashionfourmen.com

then there’s this fabulous vintage pair from freepeople.com

men check out these black overalls with a splash of red, white, and blue straps they can be found at lfantbrandnyc.com

then there’s megan good in overall shorts she rocked today on 106&park while promoting anchorman. You can’t go wrong with shorts and tights this fall

over all….I think it’s a great look, you should try it next and don’t forget to smile 🙂

if you know me, you know that i have an obsession with photography. the art and idea of capturing a moment in time that you will never experience again is priceless to me. and as i get older, i find myself looking through old photographs to put a smile on my face, to be immersed in that emotion; that particular frame that was being captured in this reel called my life.

so in this next frame on my reel I would like to share with you those things I relish in, the things that make my heart smile. be it a quote, photograph, or my favorite fashions…..I want you too to smile with me.
